Typical City Or county council. They let the roads get dug up and do nothing about traffic management. Get someone there controlling the lights and not a timer.Dead simple, these executives in their ivory towers earning over £100,000 should be sacked.

Homer, with the best will in the world and manual control of the lights, there is no way you could avoid delays by closing off half the road at this location.

THe County insists on doing work like this during the day, and not even looking into the possibility of doing them at night.

The works are for a new water connection - so either Thames Water or the owner who wants a new water connection is to blame. And the responsibility for the signals lies with the person digging up the road. Neither Council can do anything to stop this happening! Granted, the Council's aren't perfect, but funnily enough they aren't actually responsible for every single thing that happens in the City.

They are, they have to give permission for the works to be carried out, and to inform the public of any possible disruption, which they did not.

The good news is they have finished outside the martyrs memorial for the second time. just in time to dig up outside Boswell's again, you could not make this up.
